I was thinking of Zee today and thought I had posted here previously. We went to school together at Boston College. He had a kind heart. I recall a poem he wrote for me "Moon Rises Sunshine." A tour de force.

To all that knew, was to to be inspired by him. For me he was my guiding light my first years of college. I am sadden,but always full of love. I wish I could have said this. I wish he was around to meet my son Maximilian. He has Zee's spirt.
Love Robert

I knew Zee for a year when we were at Northfield Mt. Hermon together in 1974-75. He was a force of nature with an exuberant outlook on life.
Please accept my deepest condolences.
